How can the Ontario Training Schools Class Action outcome limit my rights?

Choosing to remain in the Ontario Training Schools Class Action comes with important terms. Once you stay in, the court-approved settlement applies to you.

• You are bound by the terms of the settlement.
• You generally cannot bring a separate lawsuit about the same issues.

This means the settlement becomes the primary way you seek compensation for the harm you experienced.

How Compensation Works.

Compensation under this settlement is not handled as a single shared pool. Instead, each person is treated individually.

Individual Claims.

• Each class member may submit a claim through the settlement claims process.
• The amount is determined based on the type and extent of harm experienced.

This approach means your outcome reflects your own circumstances rather than an equal split among everyone involved.

What Opting Out Means for Your Rights.

Staying in the class action may not always be the right choice for everyone.

• If the settlement does not fully reflect your individual losses, opting out is an option.
• Opting out preserves your right to pursue a separate legal claim.

Taking time to weigh your options helps you make the decision that best fits your situation.
